YCL violating fundamental rights: NHRC

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) expressed serious concern over what it called inhuman activities of Young Communist League (YCL), while affirming that these activities have violated the fundamental rights enshrined in the Interim Constitution, Comprehensive Peace Agreement and international humanitarian laws.

The constitutional rights watch dog also urged the government to independently and impartially probe crimes committed by the Maoist youth wing in order to punish them on charges of criminal offence.

"NHRC has received complaints and information that YCL has committed inhuman activities like abduction, murder, beating and issuing threats. NHRC expresses serious concern over these activities," NHRC said issuing a statement Sunday wherein it also listed complaints it has received against YCL in recent days. nepalnews.com ag May 19 08
